Fujifilm shows off FinePix S1 weather-resistant camera with 50x zoom

Camera maker Fujifilm announced its FinePix S1 digital camera, a weather-resistant model that includes a 50x zoom lens with image stabilization. The camera also has 1080p video recording, Wi-Fi, 10fps burst shooting, 3-inch LCD, and 920,000-pixel electronic viewfinder. The Fujifilm FinePix S1 will be released this March with a $499.95 MSRP price tag. The camera won't survive a plunge in the pool for action water sports photography, but photographers don't need to worry about some rain and precipitation damaging the device.

Fujifilm is showing off five new point-and-shoot cameras during CES 2014, strategically choosing products as five is smaller than the 18 models it announced last year. Consumers will have great options when looking for mid-tier and feature-rich cameras, as prices are dropping while functionality continues to increase.
